She has two broken wings and is easy to capture.
Actually she is lying and trying to lure me away.

🌍 Spotted thick-knee (Burhinus capensis) The spotted thick-knee, also known as the Cape thick-knee or spotted dikkop, is a medium-sized wader found in central and southern Africa. It is characterized by its long legs, thick tibiotarsal joint ("knees"), and large, yellow eyes. This bird has a distinctive plumage pattern with brown feathers covered in black spots, providing excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The spotted thick-knee prefers open grasslands, savannas, and sandy areas. It is primarily nocturnal, relying on its keen eyesight and stealthy nature to hunt insects, small vertebrates, and occasionally seeds. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by unattributed via Pixabay RXCK

A red and white card from Australia Post advising delivery could not be made of a postal item. Writing reads; 'Sorry, couldn't get to the door. The curlews were losing their shit.'

What WERE the Stone Curlews up to last night on the playing field behind our house by the light of our moth trap?

Any other #StoneCurlews in #NorthernNSW?
YES, but not a #BeachNestingBird! There is another #StoneCurlew species in Australia, the Bush Stone-curlew, #endangered in NSW. If they're nearby, you might hear their ghost-like contact call at night.
